Holland Andrews and yuniya edi kwon guided guests as they made wearable, spelled protection charms while being held by ambient drone music. Afterwards, Holland and yuniya conducted an energy healing and musical performance, activating the charms with miracle protection magic. A conversation and Q&A with Shirine Saad concluded the gathering. All guests took their spelled protection charm home, along with the memory of a moment’s refuge.

Curatorial Statement from Shirine Saad:

How do we come together amidst collapse and ruination? How do we listen to/alchemize the drones, the fires, the screams, the chants? Let us imagine new gospels of refusal, revolt, and love. For SONIC UNDERCOMMONS, Writer, DJ and programmer Shirine Saad had invited experimental artists to collaborate on participatory gatherings that activate communal and ancestral modes of healing.
